Fordingbridge, New Forest – New Double Garage & Coach house Driveway
by hello@thisisjuicy.com | Jun 2, 2025
Heritage‑style double garage with bespoke joinery and an engineered driveway design to complement the main residence.
To complement the architectural style of the main residence, we constructed a double garage with detail taken from the property’s period characteristics.
Works included:
• Bespoke timber joinery and garage doors
• Exposed rafter details
• Cast iron rainwater goods to match original house
• Specialist piled foundations due to ground conditions
• New courtyard driveway with detailed edging and drainage
The finished structure provides valuable storage and workshop space while enhancing the property’s kerb appeal.
Phil and his team built a 3 bay car garage for us, in traditional brick and slate to match the main house. It was a complicated sloping site involving piling and reinforced raft construction. Bricks sourced were matching imperial size which were hard to find, and the overhanging eaves had carved timber corbels which had to be specially made. The slated roof was hipped and very prominent so the quality of slating needed to be high.
The on- site team were a great group of people and were friendly and professional. There was good forward planning and attention to detail and the whole company is very responsive, and they genuinely are concerned to put out good quality workmanship.
On the office side, record keeping was good and comprehensive. We found their way of working to be very co-operative. In my ‘other life’ I am a Building Surveyor and have spent many years working with contractors, and would say that PWH are up with some of the best I have worked with in terms of organisation, quality and friendliness.
PWH Building are a bit of an enigma in our current climate of trades and builders. PWH delivered an extensive building project for me, on budget and on time.
Their no nonsense, nothing is too much trouble approach was truly refreshing.
The team were highly professional in their approach to sensitive neighbours, and worked seamlessly with other contractors. If you are looking for trusted building professionals, I would highly recommend the PWH Team. Let them take the stress out of your project.
Both myself and the client Ali were very impressed with the quality of workmanship, providing a project on budget to a high standard and on time.
Liaison and communication was carried out without problem between the client side and yourselves resulting in a project that ran smoothly and without any complications
All operations on site were carried out tidy , without mess, with very little disruption to the operational working of the Hotel.
